SKIN AND SPORT: TRAINING CONSTANTLY IS ALSO GOOD FOR YOUR SKIN
When we practice sport, we worry about the beauty of the body, the toning of the muscles and the strengthening of the joints, and the first thought is not aimed at the well-being of the skin.
In reality, leather and sport have a profound connection.
During training, blood circulation is stimulated and encouraged, bringing more oxygen to the skin and giving it a healthier complexion, while sweating helps eliminate excess toxins.
Furthermore, physical activity is closely related to the release of endorphins, hormonal rebalancing and lowering cortisol levels.
Recent studies by McMaster University in Ontario have verified how after 3 months of regular sporting activity the skin appears more compact, elastic and younger.
The benefits of sport on the skin:
circulation
Blood carries all kinds of substances in our body, from good to harmful. By moving, we do nothing but stimulate the heartbeat, oxygenate the blood more and consequently increase circulation and thus also the speed of blood transport throughout the body.
Furthermore, cell oxygenation promotes cell turnover , i.e. the life cycle of our skin. By promoting cell turnover and regeneration , the skin will appear brighter and more colourful.
collagen
Physical activity naturally stimulates its production, giving greater luminosity and firmness to the complexion.
stress
One of the physical and psychological implications of sport is decreasing stress levels.
Cortisol can have negative implications on the health of our skin and sport helps to reduce the quantity present in our body.
The decrease in cortisol and endorphin production explain the feeling of well-being you feel immediately after physical activity.
